Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)

Up to $240K Base | Significant Bonuses | No Traditional Call | Ocala, Florida

A leading anesthesia practice is seeking Board Certified Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) to join a large, established anesthesia care team serving two major hospitals in Ocala, Florida.

This opportunity offers an exceptional combination of competitive compensation, substantial bonus opportunities, flexible self-scheduling, generous PTO, a diverse case mix, and no traditional call. CRNAs enjoy a broad scope of practice within a supportive and collegial anesthesia team, with opportunities for professional growth and mentoring future CRNAs.

New graduates are encouraged to apply.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Base Salary: $220,000–$240,000, based on experience and applicable facility modifiers

• Start Date Bonus: Up to $45,000 with standard commitment terms

• Annual Retention Bonus: $15,000–$20,000

• Relocation Assistance: Up to $10,000

• 320 hours of PTO during years 1–3

• 360 hours of PTO beginning year 4

• Flexible self-scheduling through QGenda

• Multiple shift options: 8, 10, 12, 16, and select 24-hour shifts

• No traditional call

• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half after 80 hours biweekly

• Broad and diverse surgical case mix

• No OB and no Pediatrics

• Supportive Anesthesia Care Team with an autonomous, collaborative CRNA environment

• New graduate CRNAs welcome

• Opportunity to mentor SRNAs and participate in professional development

The source materials also reference a temporary enhanced start-date bonus program of up to $150,000 with a 4-year commitment. Because this is identified as temporary, availability and current terms should be confirmed at the time of offer.

Anesthesia Practice

Join a large Anesthesia Care Team consisting of approximately:

• 20 Anesthesiologists

• 32 Advanced Practice Providers

• Coverage across two hospital campuses totaling approximately 585 beds

• Approximately 12,000 cases annually across both facilities

• Approximately 700 cardiac cases annually

The primary hospital is a Level I Trauma Center and the region's only Comprehensive Stroke Center, providing CRNAs exposure to a clinically diverse and high-acuity environment.

The practice is also a clinical training site for Barry University and USF SRNA rotations, creating opportunities for CRNAs interested in teaching and mentoring future anesthesia professionals.

Diverse Case Mix

CRNAs have the opportunity to work across a broad range of surgical specialties, including:

• General Surgery

• GYN

• ENT

• Urology

• Orthopedics

• Spine

• Vascular

• Cardiovascular

• Neurosurgery

• Robotics

• GI

No OB and no pediatric cases.

This diverse case mix provides an excellent environment for experienced CRNAs who want to maintain a broad skill set, as well as new graduates looking to develop strong clinical experience.

Schedule & Work-Life Balance

One of the strongest advantages of this opportunity is scheduling flexibility.

Flexible Self-Scheduling

CRNAs participate in self-scheduling through QGenda, with scheduling flexibility not based solely on seniority.

Available shifts include:

• 8-hour shifts

• 10-hour shifts

• 12-hour shifts

• 16-hour OR shifts

• Select 24-hour trauma shifts

Full-time providers are salaried and generally scheduled for 80 hours biweekly.

Hours worked beyond 80 hours during the biweekly period are compensated at time-and-a-half.

No Traditional Call

There is no traditional overnight call requirement.

Scheduling requirements generally include:

• Approximately 1 weekend shift per month

• Approximately 4–5 evening shifts (3 PM–11 PM) per year

• No call after 11 PM

This structure provides substantial scheduling flexibility while allowing CRNAs to maintain a strong work-life balance.

Compensation

Compensation is structured based on experience and applicable clinical/facility assignments.

Base Salary

• 1–2 years: approximately $220,000

• 3–4 years: approximately $225,000

• 5–7 years: approximately $230,000

• 8–10 years: approximately $235,000

• 11+ years: approximately $240,000

Compensation may incorporate facility modifiers associated with assignments such as cardiac, trauma, and designated site coverage.

Additional Financial Incentives

• Start Date Bonus: Up to $45,000 with a 36‑month commitment

• Annual Retention Bonus: $15,000 for eligible CRNAs with up to 10 years of experience; $20,000 for 10+ years

• Relocation Reimbursement: Up to $10,000 with a 24‑month commitment

• Long-Term Bonus: $10,000 after 10 years with the organization

• CME/BERA: $3,000 annually

• Per Diem Rate: $150/hour

• Overtime: Time-and-a-half for eligible hours beyond 80 hours biweekly

An Earn While You Learn (EWYL) option may also be available for qualifying future CRNAs, offering up to $30,000, with stipend payments of up to $2,500 per month subject to program terms and service commitments.

Exceptional Paid Time Off

This opportunity offers an especially generous PTO structure:

• Years 1–3: 320 hours of PTO annually

• Year 4+: 360 hours of PTO annually

That equates to approximately 8 weeks of PTO initially, increasing to approximately 9 weeks, based on a standard 40‑hour workweek.

Qualifications

• Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)

• Must be Board Certified through the NBCRNA

• Active or eligible for Florida ARNP/APRN licensure

• ATLS required if assigned to the Trauma Team

• New graduate CRNAs are welcome and encouraged to apply

• No visa sponsorship currently available
